[Intro!]

[magiciansarcana]

[Just a standard chat room for Kaito. He hasn't quite figured out how all the mechanics of this weird virtual reality website work yet. But give him some time and he'll master it, of course. Right now, he has one hand in the pockets of his jeans as he inspects the fairly empty and plain room curiously

[Zack's had plenty of experience with crazy realistic VR before, but never just for... socializing. It's weird, and he's still trying to figure out the purpose to this place and what places to connect. He doesn't think Rufus is up to something, but he wouldn't put it past the President to send him something like this just to mess with him.

In any case, have a tall ex-SOLDIER approaching you, sword and all]

Never been in a VR sim before?

[soldierpride]

[raises an eyebrow]

You're from Wutai? I thought you guys still didn't want anything to do with ShinRa's technology.

[magiciansarcana]

[Blank stare. None of those terms sound exactly... familiar]

Wutai? I'm not from Wutai, I'm from Japan!

Gdit.

[soldierpride]

[Have one back]

Is that one of the islands off the coast?

[He knows some of the former Wutaian colonies got independence from the continent, but he can't ever remember their names. Geography was never his strong suit]

[magiciansarcana]

It's a series of islands, off the coast of Asia. [Where the heck did this guy learn geography?]

[soldierpride]

[Nowhere you did, that's for sure]

Asia?

[magiciansarcana]

[Confused stare] Asia. Y'know... the biggest continent in the world?

[soldierpride]

[Stares back, questioning Kaito's own geography now]

The biggest continent is the Western Continent!

[magiciansarcana]

What geography did you learn in elementary school?

[soldierpride]

Same as anyone else in Gongaga.

At least tell me you know where Midgar is. [Even the most backwater places on the Planet have an idea of where Midgar is]

[magiciansarcana]

[more foreign terms] Midgar?

[soldierpride]

[staaare]

You know, Midgar? Capital of the Eastern Continent? Headquarters of ShinRa since forever? Recently got totalled by a WEAPON attack?

[magiciansarcana]

... did you hit your head or something?

[soldierpride]

I was about to ask you the same question.

[magiciansarcana]

You're the one talking about fictional places like they're real!

[soldierpride]

They aren't fictional! Haven't you ever seen a world map?
